Wow! The Lakers can! Another sign, the center is here, and it s still from the Mavericks

According to US reporter Brett Siegel, the Lakers have just officially signed center Keller Kelly.

When I saw the name Kelly, I thought it was Emperor Kelly who returned to the Lakers. After thinking about it carefully, Kelly the Great should be named Ryan Kelly. He left the NBA a few years ago. He went to the Japanese League to play, and Thackeray was also with him.

When I see that I am a female classmate with historical background, I still remember Ryan Kelly

The Kelly Kelly, who just signed by the Lakers, lost the draft in 2020. Since then, he has been playing in the Development League. He was not called by the Mavericks in the 2024-25 season and made his NBA debut. He only started his NBA debut at the age of 28. He is also late for great success. Oh, no, "latest for small success."

Kelly has been playing in the Development League...

2024-25 season for the South Bay Lakers

2023-24 season for the Maine Celtics

2022-23 season for the Raptors 905 team

2020-21 season for the Austin Spurs

played in the Development League for 4 seasons, 108 games (of which 58 starts). In the 2021-22 season, Kelly temporarily left the Development League and went to Europe to play some games. It is not easy to be able to play in the Development League for so many years.

Many times, many people are forced to leave because of livelihood pressure or because they don’t see the hope of entering the NBA, or choose to give up basketball and find other jobs to support their families, or choose to play in other leagues.

This is why Andre Ingram was so respected back then (Andre Ingram is the record number of appearances in the Development League), and it is not easy. For a dream, I have to hold on for those years with a meager salary.

While Andre Ingram played basketball, he also had to do a lot of odd jobs to supplement his family income.

In the five years of the Development League, Kelly averaged 20 minutes per game, scoring 8.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2 blocks.

In 2024, Kelly was a member of the first team of the Development League defensive team.

Last season at the Nanwan Lakers, Kelly averaged 11.5 points per game, shooting percentage as high as 68.2%, and also grabbed 7.3 rebounds and 2.4 caps. He is the 2024-25 season blocking champion in the Development League. He also has a highlight performance of scoring 16 points and 19 rebounds in a single game!

Kelly's blocking ability has always been very good. In his senior year (2019-20 season), he averaged 3.5 blocks per game, making him the blocking king of the Pacific 12 Schools League.

Is this the franchise protection ability that the Lakers need?

When you see the Nanwan Lakers in the 2024-25 season, have you ever thought of anything? Yes, Kelly has also been teammates with Brownie!

, Kelly is also a former teammate of Doncic.

In the 2024-25 season, after being summoned by the NBA, Kelly played for the Mavericks and the Pelicans, playing a total of 11 games, averaging 11.5 minutes per game, and scored 3.1 rebounds and 3.5 rebounds. In terms of efficiency alone, it is still very good.

Last season, Kelly played 8 games with the Mavericks and became teammates with Doncic in 4 games. I feel that the Lakers are now very interested in everything that comes from the Dallas Mavericks.

Previously, the Lakers also signed a former Mavericks trainer who loved the Mavericks' old man.

The Lakers and Kelly signed a training camp contract

Do you think Kelly can give you a chance to stay in the NBA? The Lakers are eager to have a center forward. Although there is Ayton, they still need a center forward on the bench. In terms of frame protection ability, Kelly is still very good.
